This mix from Kahn is on heavy rotation at the moment. More dub maybe than what you are looking for but good vibes none the less. https://soundcloud.com/outlookfestival/outlook-mix-series-8-kahn

The man remains an idiot. It is not entirely clear what he is giving up in this supposed u-turn, because it was never entirely clear what his proposals involved in the first place. The EBacc was a vague, ill-conceived suggestion for legislation, and all that has happened is that it has been...

I've been thinking about this a lot recently as this is the first year in a while were a lot of my time has been spent listening to whole albums, rather than mostly individual tracks or EPs or mixes. The two that I keep coming back to are LHF - Keepers Of The Light and Cooly G - Playin' Me. I...

Sorry also to answer your question baboon: The BTEC is available at a range of levels from Key Stage 4 (i.e. GCSE-age kids), through to a higher education level. There are BTEC courses worth 2 and 4 GCSEs, and within that, depending on the tier of the qualification, that is supposed to be...

One thing I would say is that although courses like BTECs are often (rightly) derided for their ridiculous 'GCSE-equivalency', that does not make them worthless in themselves. My mum is a science teacher in a state comp. Her school is in a very deprived ward and as a result they have a...

This new plan to scrap GCSEs and introduce the EBacc as some kind of replacement seems like one more in a series of ill-thought out policies to emerge on Gove's watch. In June we find out in the papers that the government plans to scrap GCSEs and bring back something like O-levels and CSEs...

So, this isn't a conversation I find myself having with people any more... How true this has proven to be. I think my overriding feeling about the period when everyone was talking about the death of grime is that what actually died was a dream that many people around the scene had of what...

I can definitely hear how those two LPs sound a bit dated. I think it's more a matter of them sounding so very unlike anything else when they were released, whereas now they no longer have the shock of the new. At the same time I think that he has absolutely succeeded in advancing his sound on...

I meet people all the time who would be well into that.

Thank you guys. Very much appreciated.

House got burgled recently so I'm trying to slowly rebuild the (thankfully relatively small) part of my digital music collection that I didn't have backed up. Having a nightmare tracking down a lot of free mixes I'd downloaded over the years though. In 2009 United Vibes posted a series of...

Soda water is the mixer you're thinking of. If you're going to use a white rum my suggestions would be Appleton or Traveller's. That new Lamb's white rum is also decent. I'd avoid regular Bacardi because I find it has a harshness that can be masked by a very sweet mixer (coke or pineapple...

Pomegranate (fizzy, in the bottle) and guanabana (still, in the carton, poured over ice) do it for me. Unfortunately mango and passion fruit seem to be by far the most widely sold flavours. Lychee is a balance of delicious and widely-available, so I end up drinking a lot of that.

That's the only one of his films I've seen. Before I watched it his reputation did precede him somewhat, so I was expecting a more light-hearted take on the kind of queer teen cinema that in my head he usually made. Needless to say when all kinds of witchcraft and supernatural shit started...

I watched The Death of Yugoslavia some time early last year and it is hands down the best historical documentary I have ever seen made for television. I think what really elevated it for me is that the period it deals with is recent enough that there is film of almost literally everything. The...

Was a big night this. Best energy in a crowd I've been in in Manchester for a long time. You lads tore it up :)

Definitely a lot of truth in that. Having just watched United go out of the competition (very well beaten across two legs by a better team, too) the players didn't look anywhere near as bothered as they did by going out of the Champions League. Not to mention how bothered they've looked when...

Really interesting article in Sports Illustrated here from Sid Lowe on Jonas Ramalho signing for Athletic and their history of recruiting only Basque players: On something of a tangent, I'm a United fan and I reckon that, bad though we were last Thursday, Athletic were by far one of the best...
